    Fantastic lesson. You are an excellent teacher, very clear, very concise, and most important, you are thorough. I often get frustrated watching online lessons that have key elements missing, either by oversight or because the instructor assumed the viewer knows where to fill in the blanks. I really appreciate how you cover all the bases giving your viewers what they need to succeed. Job well done!

    I'm following you for a time now but sometimes when I want to learn some new song I just search it on youtube. It's not the first time that this happens, but I find that you have a lesson for the song i'm looking on the suggested videos and I think: "OMG Rob did a lesson for this song!!". I really want to thank you, the greatest teacher also have the greatest songs. You awesome Rob! I've learned a lot from you!

    @buddytew9029 9 років тому

    thanks for the info. you know I tried to learn this song several years back but for some reason i could not get the beat right but when i ran across your sight i had it down in no time. something just clicked in my head, I reckon..... Its good to have people like you out there that's willing to share the love of music.... Believe it or not but I've been playing for over 55 years and with having UA-cam I still learn new ways to play old songs. Thanks and keep the great work up..............

    So glad I came across this, I've been working on this song for some time (my first song as a beginner!) and have been struggling with that first riff and the strumming! I u this song aside a bit, cant wait to practice it again!

  • @rodneyracoon
    @rodneyracoon 8 років тому

    Excellent, best lesson I've seen on this classic. Not difficult but not a beginner song either, will take a little practice to master the fills and timing. Exactly what I'm looking for to take the next step from mostly chord strumming for the last year. Thanks!

    I just found this guitar lesson for 'Wild World' (I'm going to tackle it!), but saw 'Wild' in the title and wondered if you had any love for Dire Straits, Mark & David Knopfler and that you might take a run at doing a lesson video on a tune from their first album called 'Wild West End'? Of the few attempts at teaching this song I've found; none seem to get it quite right.

    i play a lot of lead blues, love nothing more than just using some backing tracks and improvising blues riffs all night. However , I am finding a new appreciation for chords, changes, riffs, in between chords, getting the strum pattern and then having to sing with it... this stuff is hard.... geez. When I play blues like "blue jean blues" (zz top) or BB King "thrill is gone" ... I sing, I play, but never have to sing AND play at the same time, lol. Learning to play some of the songs like in this video is harder than I expected.. Oh, well, no pain, no gain, ... DANG, lol.
